Welcome to the site!

You might do better not to mention LS1.com too much around here. Our forum and theirs haven't had the best of relationships over the years.

Skip the radar detector and spend your money on real mods that improve the car not help you be stupid on the street. Forgive me but I'm an old codger (40) that gets sick of having to dodge you young guys on the street. I'd start with improving the handling first and then once you get some driving experience start to work on better power production.

better not open the can of worms that is the LS1 saga.

leave the limiter. you have absolutely zero reasons to go over 115. youve got a while before you can do that at the drag strip anyway.

get hawk hps brake pads. they will make your brakes work better in the rain. dont waste your money on bigger brakes so long as you can still engage ABS or lock up with your current setup. you need better tires first.
